actually you can register a vehicle simply by showing the people at the dmv any insurance card...doesnt even have to have your name on it as long as it is an active policy.i know people at the dmv and that is where this info came from.....if she cant afford to pay for the bike the state will put a lein on her dl and suspend her driving privledges until the damages are paid for....call perrinich and carrol.they're on sunset pt. and belcher.
